Lumixa

Antioxidant lubricant and photoprotective ophthalmic solution. Preservative free.

LUMIXA® is a preservative-free antioxidant, lubricant and photoprotective ophthalmic solution based on cross-linked hyaluronic acid sodium salt, liposomes and crocin.

Cross-linked sodium hyaluronate is a reticulated form of sodium hyaluronate produced to obtain more viscoelasticity and stablity from the molecule. Cross-linked sodium hyaluronate ensures better hydration and longer permanence on the ocular surface.

Thanks to the synergy between cross-linked sodium hyaluronate and liposomes, LUMIXA® ensures greater stability of the tear film and it is suitable for all types of ocular dryness caused by lacrimal hyposecretion (insufficient production of tear film) or evaporative dry eye (excessive evaporation of the tear film).

Crocin is a carotenoid that interacts with light radiation at wavelengths between 380 and 500 nm; this photoprotective properly, and its antioxidant capacity, makes LUMIXA® effective even in dry eyes caused by prolonged use of electronic devices (computers, mobile phones, tablets). In fact, the blue light emitted by these devices represents a portion of the visible light spectrum between 380 and 500 nm that can cause oxidative damage on the ocular surface, which manifests itself with dry eye and inflammation.

LUMIXA® helps protect the ocular surface and ocular tissues:

• from free radicals produced in case of dry eyes;
• from the consequences of high exposure to devices that emit radiation that cause visual stress (e.g. blue light from prolonged use of computers, smartphones, tablets), unfavorable lighting conditions;
• in case of mechanical stress (ophthalmological diagnostic and surgical procedures, eye trauma) and / or environmental stress (air conditioning, dry or polluted air, high ambient temperatures.).

Indications

Symptomatic treatment of dry eye syndrome.
Also indicated for corneal protection as a tear substitute in case of visual stress also due to the harmful consequences of blue light, environmental stress, or after surgery, ocular trauma.
